Abstract
An approximate numerical procedure for calculation of the harmonic force‐displacement relationships for a rigid foundation of arbitrary shape placed on an elastic half‐space is presented. This procedure is used to evaluate the vertical, rocking and horizontal compliance functions for rigid rectangular foundations and the vertical compliance for a rigid square foundation with an internal hole. Several comparisons between the results obtained by the proposed approach and other methods are also presented.Keywords
